You compete against billion-dollar operators and subsidized overseas sellers who buy everything at scale — factories, software, freight, shipping. Alone, you pay list price. EXBA pools the buying power of thousands of independent U.S. e-commerce sellers so you buy like an enterprise without paying any fees.
Your buying power,
multiplied.
alone ×1 · together ×N
The disadvantage isn't your hustle — it's your scale. Independent sellers pay near-retail for the exact inputs large and overseas operators buy at deep discounts. The gap compounds at every layer of the business.
Each pillar is a negotiated group-buying program. They launch in sequence — you don't wait for the whole platform to start saving. Representative savings shown are illustrative ranges, not guarantees.
Pooled minimum orders, factory-direct pricing, shared QC and inspection, and consolidated freight from origin. The single biggest lever.
Group licenses on the PPC, repricing, analytics, and accounting tools you already pay for — at volumes vendors discount to win.
Wholesale carrier label rates through aggregated volume across the membership — the leverage you can never reach on your own.
Ocean freight, customs brokerage, prep, and storage at pooled rates — container-level and multi-tenant commitments.
Packaging, photography, design, virtual assistants, legal and accounting — a preferred-vendor network at member rates.
Inventory financing and product-liability insurance pools — risk and volume placed together with lenders and insurers.
For physical group buys, trust and money movement are everything. The flow is designed so no order is placed until funding clears, and nothing ships without independent inspection.
EXBA posts a sourcing opportunity. Members indicate interest and quantity — no commitment yet.
Members commit firm quantities. The pooled volume must clear the factory minimum to proceed.
Members prepay into a segregated account. No purchase order is placed until funding clears.
EXBA places the consolidated PO, manages production, and runs independent inspection before shipment.
Goods ship together from origin, clear customs once, then split to each member's destination or 3PL.
Final reconciliation. EXBA's margin or fee is disclosed up front — never hidden in the spread.
Enter your own annual spend. We apply representative savings ranges from each pillar — your inputs, our leverage.
Illustrative estimate only. Actual savings depend on category, volume, and vendor terms negotiated at launch. Not a guarantee or an offer.
EXBA is free for sellers — we're funded by the suppliers we bring volume to, not by you. But it's still invitation-and-application only: sponsored by a member or apply directly, and every applicant is verified. The alliance is only as strong as the operators inside it.
A short application, or a warm intro from a current member. Tell us what you sell and where you want to save.
We confirm a real U.S. entity and an active seller account, with a brief operator-to-operator conversation. Serious sellers only.
You're plugged into the buying programs, the member directory, and your first group buys — real value from week one.
Factory-direct runs at pooled volume, with shared QC.
Carrier, 3PL, and freight rates you can't reach alone.
The PPC, analytics, and ops tools you already pay for — discounted.
See exactly what membership is saving you, in real time.
A curated shelf of partner deals — value, not kickbacks.
A network of verified operators, online and in your city.
EXBA is a non-profit alliance. We never charge members; we earn a small percentage from the suppliers and software partners we bring our combined volume to, so the cost sits with vendors, never with you — and any surplus goes back into the alliance, not into anyone's pocket.
The independent seller — the person who finds a product, builds a brand, and serves customers directly — is the entrepreneurship engine of American commerce. Every day they compete against operators with far more scale. EXBA hands that scale back to them.
The more sellers who join, the harder we negotiate — every member makes the whole alliance stronger. Applying takes about a minute, and every application is personally reviewed.
Tell us where you sell and where you most want to save, and we'll point you to the right buying programs.
EXBA (E-Commerce eXchange & Buyers Alliance) is a non-profit buying group for independent Amazon and e-commerce sellers. Members pool their purchasing volume to buy at enterprise scale across sourcing, software, shipping, freight, supplies, and capital — unlocking pricing that no single seller could negotiate alone.
Both. EXBA is a vetted seller group for operators on Amazon, Walmart, Shopify, and other marketplaces. Whatever you sell on, the membership combines everyone's volume into collective buying power that lowers your costs.
Most Amazon and e-commerce seller groups are open forums for advice and networking. EXBA is a closed, vetted buying group: instead of just trading tips, members access real negotiated wholesale rates on the products and services they already buy. It's a buying alliance, not a chat group.
Membership is limited to verified U.S. e-commerce businesses with an active marketplace seller account. You join either by sponsorship from an existing member or by applying directly and passing verification. Vendors, agencies, and service providers cannot join as members.
Through six group-buying pillars: group sourcing and manufacturing, software and SaaS licenses, parcel and shipping rates, freight and 3PL, supplies and services, and capital and insurance. Representative savings range from single digits on landed cost to 15–40% on software and shipping.
Yes — EXBA is free for sellers, with no membership fee and no contract. We're funded by a small percentage (around 1%) from the suppliers and software partners we negotiate with, earned when members use EXBA's codes. The cost sits with vendors, not you.
There's no fee and no contract, so applying carries zero risk. If EXBA isn't useful to you, you simply don't use it — there's nothing to cancel and nothing to pay.
No. EXBA membership is for real, verified sellers only — not vendors, agencies, or info-marketers, with no exception. Approved suppliers live on the supply side as preferred partners (and they're who funds the alliance), never inside the member base. This is what protects the integrity of every group buy.
